Columbine Leaves Purple on edge with white spots

:eek: Please help me I don’t know why this is happening.

I did water late a couple times but it hasnt wilted. It has been in direct full sun. I just repotted it. Does it need fertilizer? Or is this a disease?

I’m not sure what that is.

But for now, clip it off and see if any more appears.

I did wonder — you said “full sun”? If you mean full sun as in 6-8 hrs of direct sun, then that would be too much for columbines I think? But something like that would affect all the leaves.

Oh! Did you check for eggs or pests under the leaves?

Hi, thanks for your response!

I don’t see any signs of pests. And yes, I meant full sun as in direct 6-8 hrs. I will move it so it gets sun with some shade throughout the day.

I clipped off any signs of the purple. The purple and white spots are effecting the bottom leaves the most and I just noticed the top leaves are starting to get purple on the edge.
